#MotoHolic - the awakening

"Maybe you should start a blog," said my friend during one of his infrequent visits, "it will help you unwind, blow off steam and most importantly - deal with the double life that you are living!"

At that time I did not pay much attention to it, just thought of a title I could use and implement the famous hashtag. However a few months down the line, and after another exciting, but stressful mototour, I am here figuring this tech stuff out (while my bike is with the mechanic, recovering from the beating she took during this tour). How hard could it be?  Some themes, some backgrounds, some layouts. After all I am a tech savvy guy, used to assembling PCs, writing HTML code, creating pages from scratch in Dreamweaver and Photoshop. Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy! But no way Hose, that was in another life, or dare I say two or maybe three lifetimes ago. Yes, I am that old, I used to write and edit my own HTML code, I used to slice and optimise images for web in Photoshop, CMS and Wordpress were not heard of and #hashtag was probably not invented. But why am I going on about my age and what I used to do lifetimes ago, I am rambling off topic here.

After a few hours of deciding on URL, since motoholic was taken by some unknown dude in 2005 and he didn't even bother to post anything, I settled for what I have and moved on to the visual part of the blog. Few more hours fly by and I say "fuck it, I need to write content instead of checking out layouts and themes!"

So here I am now, walking you through the hell I have just been through to get this baby started. Yes, I know this might not be a work of art and will not win me any blogger awards, but it lets me pour out my thoughts and if it entertains you along the way it's an extra bonus.
